(A man waits for the traffic light to turn green on an empty intersection.)

Man: Oh, come on. (He drives anyway but reverses when he sees the ninja, Samurai X and the river monster. They go to the police station.)

Officer #1: (Gasps.) Uh...

Kai: Is the Police Commissioner here? (The officer nods.)

Zane: Don't forget: the best way to defeat your enemy is to make him your friend.

Izzy: That's how we tamed him.

Jay: Aren't you, Crabby.

Wu: Crabby.

(The ninja go in the station.)

Officer #1: Hey, what am I supposed to do with him?

Nya: Take him to the zoo.

Officer: We don't have a zoo!

Cole: Then take him to the aquarium. (Crabby growls at the officer.) 

(Inside the station the Commissioner is painting a model ship but is interrupted by the noise outside his office.) 

Kai: (Offscreen.) We need the Commissioner.

Officer #2: (Offscreen.) He's not taking any visitors.

Cole: (Offscreen.) But it's important.

Officer #2: (Offscreen.) All his work is important.

Jay: (Offscreen.) Don't make me you. (He zaps him and the ninja barge in.)

Nya: Commissioner!

P.I.X.A.L.: So good to see you.

Kai: There's no time to lose.

Cole: Sorry to barge in but it's really quite urgent.

Zane: We have to vacate the city.

Jay: We need weapons. Lots and lots and lots of weapons.

Izzy: And about a lot of handcuffs. (Everyone stares at her.) What? 

Wu: Crabby!

Commissioner: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. One at a time. Just shoot it to me straight. What's gonna do me in?

P.I.X.A.L.: Pardon? Do you in?

Commissioner: Every time something bad happens to the city, first thing they do is can the police commissioner. (Stares at the past police commissioner's portraits.) So what is it this time? Subterranean mutant insects? Indomitable flesh-eating zombies? A pirate genie?

Cole: Pirate genie?

Commissioner: Yes, why not? Anything can happen in this crazy town.

(Jay and Nya share a smile.)

Jay: Argh, don't be ridiculous. It's the Sons of Garmadon.

Cole: They have Lloyd.

Izzy: And Coral. 

Zane: And the three Oni Masks.

Kai: The Quiet One—

Nya: —who is Harumi.

Kai: —is gonna resurrect the evil spirit of Lord Garmadon and then—
